I tried to be optimistic last year, but now I think it might just be a bad, worse, worst case scenario (20, 21, 22). The CDC just shorted the time period for positive COVID cases to 5 days and Florida had 38,000 new cases of COVID yesterday. There are no plans for any changes, whatsoever and it will just be business as usual and I am worried about the outcome. The apocalypse is just so ssllllooooooooooooooowwww, and I am ready to get off the ride. I hope I am wrong and 2022 turns out to be amazing. 

    If you are going out in SL this year, I suggest these sparkly, glitter dresses from Decoy! They are so cute and festive and there are 12 glitter colors to choose from.

         Affordable, high quality, fitmesh latex fetish wear is a find! Alice Boutique has a wide variety of slightly goth latex apparel that is made to fit a variety of mesh bodies. The best part was how great the latex is drawn AND that it is all only 99L each. 

        Nothing on the adds says original mesh and at this price point it is most likely template mesh, however, the 2D latex textures that have been drawn for all of these designs are really well done and seems unique as I have not seen it saturated over the grid. 

        To be able to see the latex as it was designed, you do need to make sure that you have advanced lighting enabled in your viewer and it also helps to wear the "latex lights" that are included in each design. If you are not looking at the design with advanced lighting, it will not look like this on your computer screen. That is not the designer's fault however and just user error. If you are looking for sexy fitmesh latex, check out Alice Boutique on marketplace. 

        I have been trying skins on this new head and haven't found one that I like enough to buy yet. However, I also pulled out all my old pre-mesh head skins and tried them on as BOM layers and I was utterly surprised to find that most of them looked great on my face even though they were designed for the default avatar. However, the hands and feet look messed up. I am wearing an old Pink Fuel skin and Mochi was kind enough to make a BOM tattoo layer to fix the hands and feet so that you can wear all your old PF skins on your mesh bodies! You can find that fix in the main Pink Fuel store for only 1L. Thanks, Mochi!

      One of the many reasons that I love Second Life is the opportunities to leave normal behind and become any fantasy character in any time period I want. If you are a fan of the TV show, Vikings, then you will know the TV character that I am attempting to honor with this picture, Lagertha the Shieldmaiden. The current round of Enchantment is Viking themed and you can find my no match hair and Nantra pose prop set at the event until March 8, 2021. 

      I am visiting the very cool Viking roleplay sim, Vargsangen. When I teleported here I was greeted with a welcome note to photographers/bloggers to request a Skalde tag so you can rezz. I am always SO appreciative of beautiful sims that welcome photographers and help us to do our work with ease.

        Last Weekend I posted a formal Valentine date dress look. Today I am showing you two casual Valentine date looks from Neve. On the right is a soft pink lace skirt and lace shoes with a "Kiss Me" conversation heart T-shirt and cropped jean jacket. On the left is a swishy dress with soft hearts all over and a heart cut out section on the bodice paired with heels with heart accents. Both would make super cute looks for your casual Valentine date!

Which Valentine date look is your favorite? Let me know in the comments!

        Valentine's Day Weekend is just two weeks away. If you have formal date plans, then I have a dress for you. The Aleutia Aurora Gown is at the current round of Uber. It has a plunge neckline and a glitter overlay skirt that will have you sparkling all over the dance floor. I really love the glitter overlay skirt! Sparkles make me happy. This is a low resolution gif just to show the sparkles because pictures don't do them justice, but you really need to see them in world to see how cool they are. 

The individual colors have a bow HUD that lets you change the bow into different colors. I chose white to go with my red dress for Valentine fun. My hair is the FREE VIP Group Gift hair at Truth. It is a gorgeous updo with curls and fairy lights- that I think is just perfect for a Valentine date.

     Happy Weekend! Truth released this gorgeous big wavy mid part hair today, Unravel. It comes with style options which turns this into four hair styles. You can find it in the main Truth store. There is also a new VIP hair, Soiree. It is a really cute updo. If you are not in the Truth VIP group- join - it is worth every penny and then some. Definitely the best value you can get in a paid group in SL.

     Are you looking for a new winter coat? Neve always makes great ones. They have just released two new coats that are both fantastic. On the right above is the new Raven coat released at faMESHed January and on the left is the new Toggle coat released at the Itty Bitty Titty Committee event. They both come in fitmesh sizes for a variety of mesh bodies and both coats come with a Maitreya Lara Petite version.

        Pink Fuel has released a new skin for Lelutka Evolution heads. Millie is gorgeous. I am wearing it on the free head, Lilly. This head did not really feel like me until this skin was released. Somehow Pink Fuel just makes everything perfect. Each skin tone comes with HD eyeshadow that also has tintable versions. A HD lipstick pack for Millie is also available, sold seperately. I had a lot of fun tinting the eyeshadow and Mochi includes a really easy step by step how to notecard with pictures in your purchase as well. So even if you don't know the Lelutka head well (like me), you will be able to figure it out with Mochi's helpful notecard. She also includes a closed eye texture that is really well done.  Here is a collage of some of the various makeup combinations available. 

My hair in all these pictures is a new release from Truth, Brazen, that can be found in the main store. Here are a few more skin tone/eyebrow color examples of this beautiful new skin: 

Hurry over to the Pink Fuel main store to get this new skin for your Lelutka Evolution head!

       Only three days left in 2020! Now that is something to celebrate. 2020 has been a dumpster fire of a year. Hopefully we can look back on this time and think of it as a long, strange trip. I am looking forward to that in the future. I have been ready to get off the ride since March. Make sure you go to the main Yummy store and pick up these 2021 glasses that I am wearing because they are a generous FREE GIFT!

Happy New Year Second Life!

      I thought shades of blue were appropriate for a 2020 Christmas picture. Let's face it- this year has been sad. However, I don't want to see any of you yelling about how 2021 is going to be your year. Did you not learn anything? Let's all sneak into 2021 real quiet and not challenge it to be even more F*ed up than last year, Ok! lol

      I do hope that you can find some happiness this Christmas. Those of us that survived this year deserve some happiness. I don't want my Holiday post to get too dismal, but we all know not enough of us survived this year and many of us are grieving loved ones. Be careful, continue to mask and social distance, and don't be scared of the vaccine. I am 2nd in line to get mine in the order- right after first responders and I can't wait. I hope I get the vaccine before I get Covid for the 2nd time- that would be marvelous. 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!

        Some people said, Arcade is still a thing? Yes! I have always loved playing gacha machines. The reason I still play? This coat. I reeeaallllyyyy wanted it and to pull for it and get it is VERY FUN! So it is winning Rare items like this that make playing gacha fun for me personally. My outfit today is in the Luas machine for December Arcade. Most of the things I am wearing are common items and these boots with socks are super cute and relatively easy to get in five different colors. Do you still like to play Gacha machines in SL?
